The ensuing weeks have been mostly quiet, and today's announcement harkened back to Yahoo's original press release, in which they pledged to Tumblr denizens "not to screw it up":

As promised, Tumblr will continue to operate as a separate business, led by David Karp as CEO. Their product roadmap, their team, and tone will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators and curators alike to do what they love best: create.

Things haven't been entirely rosy in the land of Yahoo!Tumblr. Although "sponsored posts," Tumblr's solution to native advertising, have been roundly unpopular with users, Tumblr's first big move post-buyout was to expand them from its mobile platform to its desktop platform.

Additionally, two prominent longtime Tumblr staffers have departed in the wake of the buyout: creative director Jacob Bijani and media director Mark Coatney. Considering the hefty payout Tumblr employees received, it's a good time for employees to make personal changes, and so far there doesn't seem to be a case of internal politics so much as a general shift in the weather. With Yahoo bringing over many of its news sites and other media sites like Yahoo Sports and Flickr, it appears to be just settling in rather than rocking the boat.

And while the infamous purple redesign that Tumblr users feared has yet to materialize, Yahoo did renovate its own blog with a royal ribbon.

Tumblr denizens reacted to the (second) official announcement with aplomb.

"I now expect that from today, any problems with tumblr will all be yahoo’s fault!" wrote Tumblr user kodzos.
